Vincent Robles primarily works within the realms of sculptural furniture elements. Currently, his work addresses domestic space and the relationships from one common object to the next. There is a psychological tension that lies within the walls of the home. In every nook and cranny, underside of table, between the rungs of a banister and under the rug, something has taken place. In his work, he is reading between these lines and channeling through the layers to expose what might have been left undiscovered. The relationship between our environment and the space that we imbue provokes a dialog through our past associations and historical references. Robles is a second year graduate student in the Furniture Department at San Diego State University. He has a background in applied design, home renovations and carpentry. It is through these skills that Vincent Robles has utilized the language of buildings, inspiration for content in his work, to further question our own associations to the objects he creates.
